Hi,

I am getting these notes when I run grompp:

NOTE 3 [file Init/ffsb_init.top]:
  The largest charge group contains 12 atoms.
  Since atoms only see each other when the centers of geometry of the charge
  groups they belong to are within the cut-off distance, too large charge
  groups can lead to serious cut-off artifacts.
  For efficiency and accuracy, charge group should consist of a few atoms.
  For all-atom force fields use: CH3, CH2, CH, NH2, NH, OH, CO2, CO, etc.

Largest charge group radii for Van der Waals: 0.288, 0.263 nm
Largest charge group radii for Coulomb:       0.288, 0.263 nm

NOTE 4 [file nvtp.mdp]:
  The sum of the two largest charge group radii (0.551009) is larger than
  rlist (2.000000) - rvdw (2.000000)

Can someone tell me how to correct these?


Note 3 is explained in detail in the error message. Beyond that, read about the group concept in the manual.

I've never seen Note 4 before, but a 2-nm cutoff is a bit strange for a protein simulation. Any reason you're using such large cutoffs? You may also want to provide your whole .mdp file to see if anyone can spot the underlying issue.
